1 Landslide Hazard Investigation in Papua New Guinea-A Remote Sensing & GIS Approach Sujoy Kumar Jana 1, Tingneyuc Sekac 2, Dilip Kumar Pal 3 Abstract: Tribal communities living in the mountainous regions of Papua New Guinea (PNG), often experience frequent landslides during the rainy season. The Eastern Highlands Province (EHP) is one such landslide prone province located in the mountain regions of PNG. Landslide is classified as a natural hazard that has a critical geological process to inflict an enormous damage to civil engineering structures including other valuable assets. The research study was aimed to monitor and assess landslide hazards by remote sensing data processing and GIS spatial analysis. The occurrence of landslide is controlled by a number of morphological, geological and human factors. However, according to the availability of data, only certain principal factors are considered in the present study. The analysis focuses certain landslide contributing factors in generating landslide hazard map of the area. For this study, ranking, classification and weighted overlay analysis techniques were commonly used to generate landslide hazard map. Keywords: GIS, Hazard Map, Landslide, Potential Index, Remote Sensing 1. Introduction Landslides in mountainous terrain often occur during or after heavy rainfall, human activity like indiscriminate felling of forests on steep slopes and / or natural tectonic processes inducing earthquakes result in the loss of life and damage to the natural and /or built environment [3]. When these activities happen and shear stress exceeds the shear strength of the material, then the landslide occurs. The downward movement of surface material takes place under the influence of gravity, and the mobility of such movement is enhanced by water content in the sediment [3]. Since the early 1970s, many scientists have attempted to assess landslide hazards and produced susceptibility maps portraying their spatial distribution by applying many different GIS based methods. The results of published papers show that landslide susceptibility and hazard maps have become very effective tools for planners and decision makers [5]. It is understood now that in order to delineate or generate the landslide hazard maps, in addition to tectonic instability of the terrain certain geo-morphological and geological factors like lithology, slope, rainfall, land use land cover, soil type etc. are to be considered. Thus these factors are the contributing factors to occurrence of landslide. All the factors are processed in the GIS environment to come up with landslide hazard map. Landslide hazard (LH) defines the physical attributes of a potentially damaging landslide in terms of mechanism, volume and frequency and therefore landslide hazard assessment (LHA) estimates the probability of a landslide occurrence within a certain period of time in a given area [5]. 2. Study Area The area selected for the research study for landslide hazard zonation is in the Eastern highlands province, located around Latitude S and Longitude E. It is in the mountainous region of PNG. Whole part of the province is assessed for landslide hazard. The total study area is approximately 11,200 sq kilometres. Figure 1: location map of the study area 3. Data Used and Methodology Table 1: Different data layers/maps Data Layer Source Soil data/map for EHP Landsat8 Satellite data(28.5 spatial Surveying and lands department-png resolution) captured 2008 for whole PNG Landform and Lithology data/map for EHP Rainfall data for EHP DEM data(srtm) for PNG(90m spatial Surveying and lands department-png resolution) Vegetation type Terrain data (slope and Height) Surveying and lands department-png Soil, rainfall, landform, vegetation type and lithology data for Eastern highlands province was collected from surveying and lands department at The PNG University of Technology. The data was again in the GIS environment was updated using the satellite images and according to PNGRIS data, it was again reclassified and was assigned a specific value. The metadata was rectified to WGS 1984 UTM zone 55. Land use and land cover type for the EHP were prepared from Paper ID: IJSER of 83
2 Landsat8 satellite data, captured For the slope and altitude for EHP, it was prepared using the SRTM DEM data for PNG at 90m spatial resolution by using the extraction and slope analysis tools in ArcGIS 10. The entire data bases were prepared and arranged using the ArcGIS 10 and ER- DAS Imagine 8.5 software and was all projected to the same projection system. MapInfo Professional 10.1 was used to convert tab format vector data to shape file, where it was readable by ArcGIS 10 software. From there, all vector layers that is soil, rainfall, lithology and landform were rasterized to produce the maps according to. The entire data base were prepared and arranged for generating landslide hazard zonation. The data prepared, are the common factors that can contribute to generating landslide hazard mapping. 4. Results and Discussion Soil type: Soil is one of the common factors that determine the susceptibility of landslide prone areas in a particular regions/province. The topsoil cover on a slope has an influence on landslide occurrence or in the steep slope area or on the hill top. The soil data for EHP was collected from Surveying and Lands department at PNG University of technology; it was then geo-referenced to match the satellite image. According to the soil map was reclassified and then followed by assigning weightage. It was found out from that the soil type of the area are mainly fine to coarse loamy soil and fine loamy calcareous/chalky. The loamy calcareous soil is highly prone to landslide. (Pareta.et al, 2014). According to that, it was given a weight. The type of soil identified or demarcate for the EHP is shown in figure 2 (A) Land use land cover: As illustrated in figure 2(B), it is the land cover type of EHP that was extracted from Landsat8 satellite image and was classified in the ERDAS Imagine software 8.5. Thus land cover type plays an important role in determining the occurrence of land slide. For example if the pristine forests near the hill top of an extremely steep mountain area was once cleared for the agricultural purpose, then at that particular area, the landslide can initiate because there is no strong roots to bind the soils. Once heavy rain and / or earthquake happen, then that particular area can be prone to land slide. In the land cover map above, from classification, certain areas are shown. It was weighted in terms of vulnerability for landslide occurrence. ArcGIS and was reclassified. Figure 2(D) illustrate the landform types found in EHP. It can be confirmed that the bulk of area for landform type in EHP is covered by Mountains, hills, cliff. The hilly or mountain areas can be more prone to landslide activity, however the vulnerability will be determined by types of rocks or soil or land cover out there. Therefore all the factors are to be weighted and rank accordingly to produce a final output map for landslide hazard zonation. Slope and Height morphology: Slope and height play an important role in governing the stability of a terrain. As the slope increases, chances of slope failure also increase. (Pareta.et al, 2014). But however, there are some controlling factors like soil and or rock type or land cover may also determine the slope failure in a steep slope. Like for example if the soil is fine loamy chalky soil, then landslide may not occur. The shape of a slope influences the direction of and amount of surface runoff or subsurface drainage reaching a site [1]. Concentration of subsurface drainage within a concave slope, resulting in higher poor water pressures in the axial areas than on flanks, is one possible mechanism responsible for triggering landslides [2]. Figure 3 (E) & (F) illustrate the terrain slope and height For EHP. Lithology: Lithology data for EHP was collected from the surveying and lands department at PNG University of technology. In the GIS environment, the data was updated with satellite image and with. Lithological data are the data about types of rocks found in the study area. It was found out that the type of rocks as illustrated in figure 2(C) are: limestone, metamorphic, igneous, pyroclastics and alluvial deposits. These are the rock types commonly found in EHP. Based on the rock types, weather it is strong or weak the area becomes vulnerable to landslides of varied ferocity. Landform: The data for types of landform found in EHP was collected from surveying and lands department at PNG University of technology. According to, the landform map was produced by editing its attribute table in Figure 2: Thematic layer of soil, land cover, lithology and lanform Rainfall: Rainfall is one of the main factors that lead to trigger landslide. Rainfall pattern of the certain locations of the study area, determines how frequent the landslides are to occur. However there are other controlling factors besides Paper ID: IJSER of 83
3 rainfall that will combine with rainfall pattern to show the susceptibility areas for landslide. The rainfall data was collected from surveying and lands department at PNG University of technology. According to, the rainfall pattern of EHP was edited and reclassified to produce a final map for rainfall pattern for EHP and was given rank and weightage according to the amount of rainfall. Figure 3(G) illustrates the rainfall pattern for EHP. Vegetation: Type of vegetation like dense vegetation, sparse and mixed vegetation of the study area, can be a very helpful information or data to combine with other landslide controlling factors to delineate landslide prone areas. Thus the type of vegetation data for EHP was collected from surveying and lands department at PNG University of technology. According to the and the vegetation attribute table for EHP the vegetation map was prepared. Figure 3(H) illustrate the type of vegetation found in EHP. Like dense vegetation, may not be more prone to landslide activity; however sparse vegetation or no vegetation will be more prone to landslide activity. Figure 3: Thematic layer of slope Height, rainfall and vegetation 4.1 Formulations of Thematic data layers for landslide hazard zonation The landslide examination and hazard zonation mapping study involves preparation of number of thematic databases such as terrain slope, terrain height, drainage density/drainage pattern, soil type, landform, lithology, vegetation type and land cover (Pareta.et al, 2014). When formulating and combining the thematic layers by applying weighting, ranking or applying some form of statistical calculation in ArcGIS 10 software, the landslide hazard zonation map can be produced. Thus the hazard map can be more important or useful to civil engineers for construction purpose and also to community of mountainous region, where landslide hazard map can give better idea or let them be aware of landslide prone areas in their area. Thus mitigation or adaptation measures can be put forward Numerical scheme towards preparation for landslide zonation The identification of potential landslide areas requires that the factors considered be combined in accordance with their relative importance to landslide occurrence. This can be achieved by developing a rating scheme in which the factors and their classes are assigned numerical values [4]. The rating scheme is a formulation that identifies the probability of each factor and each factor s classes that are prone to landslide activities. That is to say, each factor is assigned ranks at a scale of 1 to 8, depending on the number of factors and each class pertaining to the factors are assigned weights between 0 and 8 in order of importance. The weights and ranks are assigned according to its relative significance towards occurrence of landslide. Thus Ranks and Weights of causative factors (parameters) need to be assigned in order to generate a landslide hazard zonation map. The relevant fac- Paper ID: IJSER of 83
4 Table 2: ranks and weights for factors and their classes tors for landslide hazard zonation mapping should include; slope, rainfall, terrain height, and vegetation type of EHP, soil type, land cover, lithology and landform. These are the factor/data for EHP that was collected and prepared for assigning ranks and weightings to generate landslide hazard map of the province. Table 2 illustrates the ranks and weightings of factors for landslide. Factor Classes Ranks Weights remarks Slope < Steep slopes are more susceptible to landslide, so weight is given >30. Slope factor is highly prone to landslide, so it is rank >30 8 Terrain Terrain height more than 2800 highly prone to landslide activity. The Height rank was given to terrain height as > Rainfall Higher the rainfall frequency at a particular area, the landslide is more likely to happen soil Fine to Coarse Loamy Soil Fine Loamy chalky Soil Fine loamy chalky soil, defined by its name is highly prone to landslide. Hilly or mountain areas that have this type of soil, the Vegetation Dense vegetation 4 1 landslide Bare is with more mixed likely grassland to happen. is more prone to landslide activity. type Sparse vegetation 5 The rainfall hits the soil directly causing accelerated erosion, also Bare land with mixed grassland 8 there is no vegetation type like thick forest to hold the soil columns Lithology Basic igneous rock 3 1 together.

On the other hand, the weights were also assigned to each class of each factor. The numerical data layers representing weight values of the factor classes as attribute information were generated from the thematic data layers for data integration and spatial analysis in the GIS. The input data layers were multiplied by their corresponding ranks and were added up, to obtain the Landslide Potential Index (LPI) [4] i.e: LPI = ) (SLP * 8) + (ALT * 7) + (RN * 6) + (SL * 5) + (VEG * 4) + (litho * 3) + (lndfm * 2) + (LULC * 1) Where Ri denotes the rank for factor i and Wij denotes the weight of class j of factor i. SLP = slope factor, ALT = altitude (height), SL = soil, RN = rain, VEG = vegetation, LULC = land use land cover, lndfom = landform and litho = lithology Thus this was the algebraic mathematical formula that was performed using raster calculator tool in ArcGIS 10 to generate final landslide hazard zonation according to weights and ranks given. Paper ID: IJSER of 83
5 The landslide potential index once organised and computed, ranges from 676 to Thus these values are reclassified into 5 landslide hazard susceptible zones and these are: low potential zone, medium potential zone, and medium to high potential zone, high potential zone and very high potential zone. Thus this was the final output map for landslide potential zonation generated from contributing, weighting and ranking all factors that are illustrated in Figure 2 (A, B, C, D) & Figure 3 (E, F, G, H). Figure 4 illustrate the EHP landslide hazard potential zone. 5. Conclusion Landslide hazards are common in mountainous areas experiencing high downpour. The hazard is aggravated by deforestation and improper land use. Moreover, such hazards further being exacerbated by frequent earthquakes are thus becoming a permanent menace to the inhabitant communities, also with respect to civil engineering construction. Events like tectonic activism, high rainfall, geology and inherent soil conditions are beyond the control of humans to manoeuvre, but pernicious human fiddling on the face of the slope by way of indiscriminate deforestation, unscientific engineering construction of building, dams etc., clearing pristine forests for agriculture should have to avoided. In this context the research study brings out a definite relationship between the remote sensing and GIS techniques, which play a significant role in landslide zonation mapping. All the data were processed and analysed in GIS environment. The landslide hazard zonation of EHP can give clear view to the community living in EHP and civil engineers on the varied potential zones for landslide as depicted on the map. These can be a stepping stone for communities to look ahead, plan and manage their lands in a way that they can have the appropriate preparedness to mitigate the impact of landslide in such mountainous areas.

Zones are demarcated as 5 landslide potential areas for the entire EHP as shown in figure 4. Thus table 3 shows the tabulation of Landslide potential index ranges, the susceptible zones were decided according to each ranges of LPI and finally the area covered by each susceptible classes of landslide are shown in square kilometre and percentage.
